Betty Called Me In Gordon Lightfoot

[Intro]
Betty Jo, you made it plain when first you held me near
Even though you caused me pain you were all the world to me
We made love, we had such fun, many fine times went by us
Now it's all so hazy and a little bit crazy
Betty Jo, my heart's on fire, I don't need this crying
The next time you see me the back seat of a taxi's where I'll be

[Verse 1]
Betty called me in to say goodnight
Much to my relief and pure delight
I think that was my big love scene
I do believe her engine run alright

[Verse 2]
Betty said, "Get ready, the time has come"
I was young and my good life had begun
And with the dawn the child in me was gone
But it made a man out of me that night

[Verse 3]
Betty made my clothes and sewed my jeans
Listened to my songs and foolish schemes
I think the way she got to me
Was aimed like a laser beam right to the soul
